Facebook supports language translation applicaions like Interlecta’s Text Translator and Space Translated that make communication itself easier. Whenever a new friend adds you, it is a lot easier to make sence of what they are saying in the chat. The Space Translated wall even translates the messages in all different languages. Great work for Facebook and application developers!
